This was a CIA project from the 1960s to spy on Russia. They chose a cat for the job, but they didn’t consider the fact that cats are tough to train. The cat’s job was to eavesdrop on two men in a park outside the Soviet embassy in Washington, D.C. The cat was wired up by a veterinary surgeon who implanted a microphone into the ear canal, a small radio transmitter at the base of the skull, and a battery buried in the flesh. The complex project took five years to complete and consumed a whopping $20 million. The project was closed in 1967 because the cat wouldn't obey.

@fasc1nate My ex never listened either. I conclude that this must have been a male cat. 😁
@fasc1nate When curiosity killed the cat, but technology tried to resurrect it as a spy.
@fasc1nate We all have to become cats. Not physically but mentally. Don’t allow anyone to control you!
@fasc1nate Did you hear what they did to the birds tho?
